Tracey,
I look forward to seeing/hearing the reflections and look forward to
an improved version of this activity in the future!

We learned quite a bit with the carleton assignment, I hope it does
not affect my career as a professor., so far the students have been
good sports. I wll be getting 150 2 page refections from them about
this process which means we may all learn something from them to.
I learned quite a bit as well and will hopefully debrief with Denis
Carriere and the TA about our experience ans will happilily share
that back with Julia and the rest of you.
But one thing is for sure if we want to do university to community
collaboration, and we want to experiment, teach and
learn, flexibility is required and maybe sandbox practice spaces or
testing space. Wikiedu does that see

<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Ed/Carleton_University/COMS4407_Critical_Data_Studies_%28Fall_2017%29>
Was it a mistake? Our intentions were good! Did this process require
a lot mediation and moderation? Yes! Would I conduct this assignment
again? Well, not in the same way. Can we move forward together? I
hope so!
Stay tuned and I look forward to meeting some of yo face to face and
appreciate all the feedback and thoughts so far.
I think I will reframe the COMS2200 OSM exercise as the Carleton
learning moment for us all, and look forward to moving forward with
you.

Hi everyone,
Firstly, thank you all for your feedback.
I understand the concerns about repeating what occurred at
Carleton, but our goal is to try our best to avoid this
situation. So far the professors I have connected with are well
aquatinted with OSM and will be targeting GIS students to
participate. Some professors will even be grading their students
on their contributions, so hopefully this will incentivize
students to accurately contribute. Also, we are determining
methods for validating the data afterwards.
John, I agree with your opinion on prioritizing importing the
building footprint datasets and then having participants add
tags, but our focus for the OSMGeoWeek mapathons would be to map
areas that do not have existing building footprint datasets to
import.
Matthew, I agree with you as well, having experts present at
mapathons to educate participants on the correct methods of
mapping is valuable. With this in mind, I will encourage
universities to invite local OSM experts. If anyone is
interested in participating in a university mapathon as an
expert OSM contributor, please let me know and I can connect you
to the university that is located within your region.
I hope you all understand that we want these mapathons to be as
constructive as possible, to educate students about OSM as well
as to contribute to the Building Canada 2020 project.
Regards,
Julia

Hi everyone,
I am currently working at Mapbox on the Data Team and
previously worked at StatCan on the Crowdsourcing project.
Mapbox is collaborating with StatCan to engageCanadian
universities to participate in theBuilding Canada 2020
project
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Canada/Building_Canada_2020> by
hosting mapathons duringOSMGeoWeek
<http://osmgeoweek.org/>(November 12-18, 2017).
We want to make sure we are accomplishing this in a way that
encourages new Canadian mappers, while also ensuring
participants are being educated properly about OSM and the
community.
The plan is to help educate Canadian universities about
organizing mapathons through documentationsliketeachOSM
<http://teachosm.org/en/> as well as to set up clear tasks
for students to complete during the mapathons. We have
started outlining the information onthis wiki page
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Canada/Building_Canada_2020/OSMGeoWeek2017>.
On theCanada OSM Tasking Manager
<http://tasks.osmcanada.ca/> there are already some tasks
related to the Building Canada 2020 project. My plan is to
add additional tasks for students to complete. The tasks
will clearly outline what the students should map and where
they should map.
I would like to know if you have any suggestions on
cities/towns/communities in Canada to focus on, particularly
rural regions that are not mapped and have high resolution
imagery.
Regards,
Julia
